And His+ Feet shall stand in THAT DAY upon the Mount of Olives,
Zechariah 14:4
And
His+
Feet shall stand in THAT DAY upon the Mount of Olives,
which
is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount
of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the
west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain
shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
+ + +
What
“DAY” ? Scripture tells us: It is the DAY of HIS+ Summons .
Zechariah 14:2
For
I+ WILL GATHER ALL
NATIONS against Jerusalem to battle;
and
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and
half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city.
+ + +
All nations – not some – but all nations,
including the historic “Christian” nations of Western Civilization will be summoned
( yes, SUMMONED ) by The LORD
Himself+ to come to the battle against Jerusalem.
All nations WILL answer the SUMMONS of the
Divine Judge of the whole earth; they have no choice.
Isaiah 34:8
For
it is THE
DAY of the LORD'S Vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of
Zion.
All nations will be turned against the Jews.
This is not hard to believe, as irrational
anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric, death-threats, and economic sanctions
are increasing across the globe.
The nations want Jerusalem to be an
INTERNATIONAL CITY, not belonging to Israel nor retained as the Capital of
Israel.
This is not hard to believe either: Jerusalem
was so designated by the UN in 1947 when it PARTITIONED ISRAEL . When four
muslim Arab nations devised a pact
to come against Israel in the 1967 War – JUST BECAUSE IT
WAS THERE -- The LORD turned the victory to Israel and Jerusalem was
taken and thus, returned to the State of Israel.
It
was a SIX-DAY war;
but on the Seventh Day The LORD rested, we
remember.
The muslim nations have been angry about their
loss ever since, maintaining a constant scream of “mis-treatment” in the ears
of the world. The nations of the world
have sided with Israel’s ENEMIES about Jerusalem.
The LORD is SOON going to stop this controversy over Israel’s right
to exist and have Jerusalem as its historic capital.
Hear what His+ plans are:
Jeremiah 25:31
A
noise shall come even to the ends of the earth;
for
The LORD hath a controversy with the nations;
HE+ will plead with all flesh;
HE+ will give them
that are wicked to the sword, saith The LORD.
A BIG SURPRISE awaits all the nations who come
against Jerusalem and Israel.
Zechariah 14:3
Then
shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when HE fought in the day of battle.
But WOE to those who burden themselves with
Jerusalem ! Yes, The LORD HIMSELF+ will
descend and fight against those nations and peoples who despise Jerusalem and Israel and His+ ancient people. HE+ is going to fulfill His+ Promise to
Israel.
The LORD is going to FULFILL His+ Promise to
Israel as well as His+ Promise to the wicked CHRIST-REJECTERS of the world.
Israel itself will be SORELY CHASTENED for its
unbelief and sin, for The LORD is no
respecter of wickedness.
Nor is The LORD JESUS a respecter of wickedness
and worldliness in His+ Followers . . . those who take advantage of His+ Grace but
have their hands and hearts full of this world.
Hebrews 3:12-15
Take
heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in
departing from The LIVING GOD.
But
exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened
through the deceitfulness of sin.
For
we are made partakers of CHRIST, if we hold the beginning of our confidence
stedfast unto the end;
While
it is said, Today if ye will hear HIS Voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
+ + +
Have we departed from our LIVING LORD CHRIST ?
O LORD, open my eyes.
Have we re-taken the control of our life out of
His+ Hands ?
LORD, help me to remember I am BOUGHT with a
PRICE+.
Do we cease to yield to His+ Word when we do
not obtain our wants ?
LORD, confirm to me AGAIN and AGAIN that
OBEDIENCE is the way to BLESSING.
O SAVIOR+ Who+ died that we might live, help me to see my life clearly in the
mirror of Your+ Holy WORD, that I might not be found to be numbered Your+ enemy
on THAT DAY. Amen.
